No more so than "virtual," which used to mean "true." Or "literal" which used to be the opposite of "figurative." It's just another word being used auto-autonymically.

Definitio fugit.

Virtual never meant real.

Literally is often used in a sarcastic context. That sarcasm depends on the word meaning what it means.
